Following the Company's subscription for 80 million ordinary shares in Retail Star, Red Rock will hold 15.5% of the issued ordinary share capital of Retail Star as enlarged by the acquisition of Orion and the proposed placing of 37.5 million ordinary shares. A further 60 million converting performance shares will also be issued to Red Rock in consideration of Retail Star being transferred certain exploration licenses located in Southern Africa applied for by Red Rock ('African Tenements'). These performance shares similarly convert into ordinary shares on a one for one basis in the event that the African Tenements are granted and transferred to Orion.

Celia Prospect - Northern Territory • Hosted within the highly favourable Rum Jungle Complex which has yielded over 70 mineral occurrences of a variety of commodities. Past mining has included uranium, base metals and gold. • Two extensive untested radiometric anomalies over airborne uranium channel lies south and north-west within the current tenure area. Marrakai - Northern Territory • Untested radiometric anomalies are associated with the favourable lithologies and structures which have hosted uranium deposits in the Pine Creek region. • The area shows potential to host unconformity-type uranium deposits as the radiometric anomalies are associated with sandstone lithologies. • Primary exploration focus has concentrated on iron ore and gold mineralisation. Daly River Road - Northern Territory • Several first order and second order high priority radiometric anomalies are associated with sandstone units of the Pine Creek Area. • The area shows potential to host unconformity-type uranium deposits as the radiometric anomalies are associated with sandstone lithologies. Hayes Creek - Northern Territory • The tenement is located nearby uranium mined out deposits and uranium occurrences of Lady Josephine, Burrundie and Fleur de Lys. • The area highly prospective for unconformity-type uranium deposits, believed to be located at or near the contact between the Jindare Formation and the Stray Creek Sandstone. The tenement is hosted to one first/second order radiometric anomaly and five second order radiometric anomalies, which all remain untested. Mt Alfred Prospect - Western Australia • Tenement is compared to Lake Maitland and Yeelirrie type deposits. • Drainage systems around the region offer polymetallic possibilities. • Uranium anomalies identified by Uranerz in the mid 1970s. • Shallow auger drilling in 1977 by Uranerz returned results up to 150 ppm uranium (0.015%) from calcrete horizons. Other Assets to be Acquired Red Rock Resources Plc has applied for exploration licenses in Southern Africa. The licence areas (if granted), will amount to 530 sq km, and have been highlighted by an independent party as being prospective for uranium mineralisation. If these licences are granted, Red Rock Resources Plc has agreed to transfer them to Orion in exchange for the conversion of 60 million of the performance shares into ordinary shares.
